Galveston Beachfront House w/ Deck & Ocean Views!

Reviews

• 3/5

  Best thing about this property is the location. House is need of updating and repairs. Grass appeared to not have been mowed all summer. Buckles and soft spots on flooring. Stove burners do not sit flush therefore making it difficult to cook. Screen door sticks making it hard to open and close. Shelves in shower broken and doors do not slide with ease. Blinks broken and overall cleanliness was muh at best.

• Location is GREAT! All else - eh ...

  2/5

  Location is GREAT! All else - eh ... Accuracy of the listing is pretty far off from reality. The listing says 2 TVs but only one is installed. The outside looks worn and a bit ignored for some time. The entrance door/frame to the deck is warped and the lock bolts do not properly engage. The deck dining furniture is badly rusted and unsafe. All of the 4 chairs wobble significantly and 1 fully collapsed. The railing and wall paint is peeling and nail/screw/staples are rusted & showing through paint. In my opinion, the deck needs replacing. The deck to house storm door will not close. All wall light switches broken and/or missing pieces - some work. The living room floor covering is buckled down a line in the center of the floor and the subfloor seems suspect. The stove has no burners that lay down flat making cooking challenging. The kitchen sink is rusted and the faucet damaged. The bathroom's towel racks were not mounted and laying on the vanity. The glass shower shelves were missing from the shower and laying on the sink. One of the shower door roller(s) is missing and makes closing doors to shower very challenging. We booked this beach house to meet with our kiddos and dogs and enjoy the beach - we did that so not all was a loss.

  Hi Al, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We value all guest input and will be following up with the property manager to review the concerns you've noted.

• Not Very Nice

  2/5

  The house is just not very nice. It was worn out. The house is located on the public access road to the beach, so expect tons of load traffic and loud music from 6:00am to midnight. There is no access to the beach from the house. You have to walk around and down the public access road. The grass/weeds were knee high all around the house (ugly). In the ONE bathroom, 1 lightbulb out of 8 worked. All of the switch plates over the lights switches were broken and gone. The air conditioner could not chill below 72. There were several places you felt like you would fall through the subfloor. There was black grunge in the master bedroom between all of the fake tile and the plastic baseboards. The Tv wouldn’t turn off. The house is not NEARLY as nice as the photos make it look. I would definitely NOT book here again.
